Product Liability

If we can demonstrate that a product was defective in its design, manufacture, or marketing, then we can hold the party or parties responsible for the defect liable for any injuries sustained by you or a member of your family as a result. In product liability cases, the doctrine of strict liability applies, meaning that proof of negligence is inherent in the design, manufacturing, or marketing flaw itself. Any and all parties involved in the creation, fabrication, distribution, or resale of the product may be held accountable for resulting injuries, depending on the nature of the defect.

Product Liability Lawsuits

Designers, manufacturers, distributors, and sellers of products have a legal responsibility to ensure that the product is safe and free of potentially harmful defects. In the event that a defective product causes an injury or death to an individual, it may be possible to file suit against all liable parties. Under the "strict liability" theory of law, it is not necessary to prove negligence in a product liability lawsuit.

In a product liability lawsuit, the actions of the defendant are not taken into consideration; rather, the court decides whether the plaintiff's injuries were caused by a product defect. If it can be shown that a product is defective, the plaintiff was injured, and the plaintiff's injuries were caused by the defective product, the defendant is automatically liable.

A designer, manufacturer, or seller can be held liable for damages caused by a defective product regardless of the level of care that the party exercised.

Product defects can cause devastating injuries. In many cases, they can prove fatal.

Types of Defective Product Cases

Product liability claims usually arise when a product causes an injury as a result of:

Design defect – A design flaw is a defect that occurred at the conception of a product, such as an infant car seat that provides inadequate support in the event of a crash. If a product defect is determined to be a design flaw, the designer of the product can be held liable for any and all damages caused by the product defect.

Manufacturing defect – Manufacturing defects result in a product that performs differently than the designers originally intended. Manufacturing defects may result from the materials that were used or the manufacturing technique itself.

Failure to warn – Also known as a marketing defect, a failure to warn occurs when a product causes an injury because consumers were not adequately warned about the potential dangers. It may be possible to file a 'failure to warn' claim even if the consumer was using the product incorrectly at the time of injury, so long as the use was something the manufacturer or designer should have foreseen.

Persons injured by dangerous products can rely on a defective product or personal injury attorney from Moody Law for sound legal counsel. We have obtained millions in verdicts and settlements for our clients, and we can help achieve a successful resolution to your case as well.

Frequently Asked Questions about Defective Product Lawsuits

A defective product attorney from our law firm can review your case free of charge and help determine liability.

What are the most common types of defective products?

Do I need a defective product attorney to obtain compensation?

In a product liability lawsuit, the defendant's lawyers will try to discredit your claim by attempting to prove that you were using the product negligently or incorrectly when you were injured. You need an attorney in order to maximize your chances of obtaining a successful resolution to your case.
